Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4.7 LITRE ENGINE. IT HAS 82,000 MILES AND HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL SPLITS (CRACKS) ON THE DASH. IF YOU VIEW HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/RAM_1500/2002/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/CRACKS_IN_DASHBOARD.SHTML, YOU WILL SEE SEVERAL OF TEH SAME COMPLAINTS. THE FAILURE OF THA DASH COULD INTERFERE WITH THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM. DODGE REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. I SUSPECT THAT REPLACING THE DASH WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM IF THE STOCK DASHES ARE MADE OF THEH SAME MATERIAL. IT IS EITHER A PLASTIC PROBLEM OR DESIGN FLAW. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL WITH A REPLACEMENT ITEM THAT WILL NOT CREATE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE DO NOT LET DODGE HIDE BEHIND THIS DEFECT THAT MAY RESULT IN A DEATH. *TR
